Oh, yes! I do think blue was made in Greece! As I've told you before, I've never seen water as blue as in Greece! Superb captures as always and another breathtakingly beautiful place! Thank you as always for sharing the beauty with us, Costas! And thank you for your visits and kind comments, they're greatly appreciated! Hope your week is going well!

Nice beach , I kept looking for the people until the last. In the 1st photo is a turrent on the hill and I wondered if it was a old lighthouse perhaps.

Truly a beautiful and peaceful location. The blue is delightful, and I think I see a tower on the hill in the first pic. How nice!

Thank you all for your kind comments my friends. This was a really beautiful place to visit and photograph. I also could not resist the cool waters and had to splash a little myself also. The beach was covered with small clean white pebbles and there was not any sand to stick on you. There was a rather strong northerly wind blowing, but as you can see in the last photograph, the cove is protected from all sides, and it is opening to the sea to the south. So the wind was blowing out to the sea, and the water was almost calm. Really enjoyed it.
The tower you see on the first photograph, is and old look out post, restored recently. For its use i will tell you more in my next post.
Have a great day all of you.
